The buttons I have on my Japanese sit-down cab have little switches inside them. I like the feel of these buttons, and the fact that they don't "click" like the microswitch buttons do, but some of them are obviously worn out and are mis-triggering. Here's the catch: the start buttons mount in a weird 15/16" hole, and the action buttons in a atandard 1-1/8" hole.

Happs has what look like exact replacements for the smaller buttons - there is an expanded view at

Unfortunately I don't see anything like the larger buttons. Both use the identical switch, which you can see in the photo I've attached. The switch has the name "SANWA" on it which I assume is the manufacturer.

I suppose I could buy a bunch of the small buttons from Happs, and pull the switches out to use on the larger buttons in my cab, but that seems wasteful. Does anyone have any idea where I could buy the switch mechanisms by themselves?

Thanks in advance for any help!
